[Webware-discuss] Webware 0.9.1 beta 1 available

From: Christoph Zwerschke <cito@on...> - 2006-04-09 15:07

As promised, I have cut a new beta release. It contains all bug fixes 
and enhancements made after version 0.9 so far, plus a couple of other 
improvements and bugfixes I made this weekend.

Particularly, ImportSpy now uses new import hooks instead of ihooks (if 
available) and can be disabled completely via the AppServer.config 
setting "UseImportSpy" (if this is false, sys.modules will be polled).

This release contains also new versions of the mod_webkit.dll (for 
Apache 1.3 and Apache 2) for Windows users.

Since I changed quite a lot, I have made this a beta release only. 
Anyway, this release should be completely downward compatible. If 
everything is ok, the stable release can follow very quickly.

Please test and let me know of any problems!

Thanks Christoph!

That could be a useful feature. Recently we had an issue where the name 
of a context clashed with the name of a Python package found through 
sys.path. The application dies with an import error that is tricky to 
debug because everything works fine on the command line. I would be 
interested in seeing if there is a speed/memory difference when 
ImportSpy is disabled. Unfortunately it will be a while before I have 
the bandwidth to put together a proper test.
